Bee on Coreopsis
Posted by Earnest (Oklahoma, United States) on 20 May 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
Not a honey bee but quite a successful gatherer.
I hope you enjoyed the viewing... Have a great day!

Good job of getting the bee on the flower. Our coreopsis are not even in bud.

@Anita: Don't worry it doesn't take them long. These come one pretty early in the wild (this one is lanceleaf coreopsis - wild)... I've some in a wildflower garden that are now going very well too but they are yet another kind that came from a seed packet.

Hey Earnest!! I've had a boo at all I've missed... Loved the Sumac post - Way cool!! And how you could you not love this sunny flower?!! Gorgeous especially having captured that "bee"!
Sorry I've been so hit and miss lately. But I always try to have a look see at what I've missed. ;-)

@amy: Don't worry, Amy... I never take any offense to anyone not checking my photos... In fact it just makes me happy that anyone will take a peek once in a while whether they comment or not. Like you I have a difficult time keeping up with all the blogs I'd like to.. I often have to do some catch-up on weekends -- and though it may not look as if I'm busy in the easy chair snoring, I am!.... :)
